Each year, the Wallpaper Design Awards* celebrate the most compelling ideas shaping architecture, interiors, furniture, art and lifestyle, spotlighting projects that stand out for their originality, cultural relevance and expressive power. In the 2026 edition, Visionnaire is recognised for Fregio, the sculptural work designed by Tipstudio, selected for its ability to translate material research and artistic vision into a powerful spatial statement. Launched in 2005, the awards have become a barometer of where design is heading — and why it matters.
This recognition celebrates a way of thinking about design as a cultural act — where objects are not just created to inhabit space, but to generate emotion, dialogue and meaning. Fregio embodies this vision: a piece that lives between art and architecture, expressing the identity of Visionnaire through material, rhythm and imagination.
Eleonore Cavalli, Visionnaire Art Director
More than a decorative element, Fregio acts as an architectural gesture — a rhythmic presence that defines space through form, surface and light.
Conceived as a contemporary frieze, the piece translates classical references into a bold, modern language. Its layered composition and material depth invite close observation, revealing a balance between graphic strength and refined detailing. The result is an object that feels both timeless and distinctly of the present moment.
